1706 Wallace St Durham, NC 27707

Listing details for 1706 Wallace St, Durham, NC 27707 : ***Strong offer on the table. Seller will make a decision by Sunday evening! This is what happens when a 1960s home ages well and gets the updates it deserves. A welcoming entry sets the tone with peg-and-plank hardwoods and a statement light fixture that create an immediate sense of character. Original heart pine floors ground the kitchen, now upgraded with quartz countertops, an induction range, and double wall ovens--because charm is great, but function matters. The island, set under new lighting, conveys--adding both workspace and gathering space. Fresh paint inside and out, updated baths, and a reworked primary vanity with an on-trend arch detail keep things current without feeling trendy. The formal living room (or ideal office) features a gorgeous fireplace, built-ins, and cabinetry--equal parts showpiece and usable space. The brick courtyard out back, complete with new retaining walls, is a whole moment--private, established, and surrounded by mature landscaping, including blooming dogwoods and a producing fig tree. Up front, a new hardscaped sitting area overlooks a fully reimagined yard with native landscaping--designed to look good without demanding your weekends. A large flex space could serve as a fifth bedroom, second office, or home gym. Plus, the detached two-car garage provides space for storage, projects, and built-in pollen protection. Highly sought-after and quiet location between Lakewood and Forest Hills--right where you want to be.
